The Office of Information Services was responsible for handling the
public relations aspects of Texas Tech University. This department
has been called several names over the years, including
Photographic Services, Public Information, University News and
Publications, and News and Publications. It maintained subject
files for research purposes, assisted in ascertaining accuracy of
facts regarding the university, and provided editorial and
technical work for production of various campus publications. It
also tracked articles on the university and its faculty, staff and
facilities that appear in newspapers and magazines. Information
Services also coordinated interviews and press conferences and
aided in the creation of media plans for major campus events.
Currently, this office now goes by the name of Communications and
Marketing.
